Peaceful, relaxing stay for our anniversary. Resort is a condo hotel, with each unit individually owned and 8 units per floor. Our first night was in a room on the 8th floor with a large balcony overlooking the bay with a beautiful sunrise, saw several dolphins and with low tide, an exposed sandbar attracted many wading birds. A bottle of chilled champagne was waiting for us, along with a card wishing us a wonderful anniversary - nice touch. Unit has a small kitchen, main area with dining table, couch and TV, nice size bedroom with comfortable king size bed and bathroom (combo shower and jetted tub). Very clean, basic unit but looks like all original appliances and TVs, could use a refresh. On the afternoon of the 2nd day, some rowdy guests checked into several rooms on our floor. Instead of waiting to see how loud they might get later, we inquired at the front desk to see if another room was available. (On plus side, we only heard them when they were in hallway going between their rooms, didn't hear them when they were in their units - walls seem solid and soundproof). Staff was great and not only moved us to another room, they upgraded us to the 11th floor. This unit is the same size but facing the other direction, to the Gulf. It was a cloudy evening but my guess is that it has a gorgeous sunset view. This unit is more recently renovated with granite countertops, a modern shower and larger TVs. Our room rate included breakfast at Flippers, a cute open-air restaurant next to the resort. Breakfast was delicious - I had eggs and breakfast potatoes, husband had pancakes. Our dinner the first night was also good - coconut shrimp (4 large shrimp with mango salsa) and blackened grouper sandwich. Nice size pool and hot tub added to our relaxing stay. Beware the lowered speed if you take a right out of the resort and go over the bridge towards Fort Myers Beach. Very small sign for dropping speed limit down to 25 going over the bridge. There was a sheriff checking speeds on the other side of the bridge. Drop in speed limit is marked much more clearly coming from the north, heading south. Speed limits seem to drop a lot on the bridges in area, so be careful!

We had the best holiday ever. Beautiful condo with amazing views over the bay. The kitchen was fully equipped and the bed comfy. Downstairs there was a room where you could use the WiFi. The outdoor swimming pool was good and so were the barbecues. What I loved the most was that you had direct access to the beach and you could watch the sunsets from your balcony. I can't wait to visit again. We stayed here in 2011 but due to health problems were unable to travel for the last couple of years. We are coming to Fort Myers this year and we are hoping to book here again.

Room Tip: The higher the better view although you can get excellent views from the 3rd floor onwards. The con...

Great spot for a long weekend as long as you don't want a resort right on the beach. Spectacular views from every window; refreshing pool with waterfall is like a tropical paradise; loved the convenience & again, scenic, dining at Flippers for breakfast & lunch. Saw dolphins swimming in the bay. Staff was friendly & rooms are spacious, comfortable, & clean. Price was reasonable too, we had a Florida residents rate. We were on 6th floor this trip & 9th floor previously. Like I said fabulous views from anywhere!

Room Tip: Every room has a spectacular view. We had a "luxury" room; it was bigger than the standar...

We usually try to stay at bungalow, cottage type places, but once in a while we go for a little more luxury. Lovers Key Resort did not disappoint. The service was great and the room was more than we expected for the price. We had a 2 room suite with a kitchen and hot tub for about the same price as what most of the other hotels were asking for a single room. With the Florida resident discount they offered, it was quite reasonable. We opted for an upper floor room for a few dollars more and the view was spectacular from from our balcony. The hotel is about 20 feet from the inlet water on one side and there is a Gulf view on the other. We were lucky enough to have a view of both. We watched the lightning from the usual summer storms on the horizon and dolphins swimming in the channel in front of our room. We couldn't have asked for a better location.

Flippers, the restaurant that is on the property is excellent also. I will review that under restaurants..

Room Tip: Choose an upper floor if you can.

Stayed for 4th of July weekend. Have a great time. We had two rooms, both overlooking the water. 12th floor was perfect for watching the fireworks. You really don't have to leave the resort. Everything is there. What really made our stay though we're the staff, both in the Hotel (Kristi was so accommodating and very professional) and the restaurant. The entire staff at the Restaurant (Flippers) were so much fun and just made you feel like you belong. Chris, Ray, Jay and Jono thanks for the awesome service and special thanks for the chef. We ate there every night and the food was spectacular. We will be back.

Beautiful resort, love the amenities and the food/drink at Flippers were great. Only complaint is the woman who delivered our complimentary breakfast was incredibly rude and unprofessional. The rest of the staff (front desk, etc.) were very friendly and hospitable unfortunately that was not the case with the staff delivering room service.
